Extinction by Environmentalism

Concludes conservationist Clive Hambler:

Why is the public not more aware of this carnage [afflicting birds and bats]? First, because the
wind industry (with the shameful complicity of some ornithological
organisations) has gone to great trouble to cover it up ... Second, because the ongoing obsession
with climate change means that many environmentalists are turning a
blind eye to the ecological costs of renewable energy. What they clearly
don’t appreciate — for they know next to nothing about biology — is
that most of the species they claim are threatened by ‘climate change’
have already survived 10 to 20 ice ages, and sea-level rises far more
dramatic than any we have experienced in recent millennia or expect in
the next few centuries. Climate change won’t drive those species to
extinction; well-meaning environmentalists might. [Emphasis added.]
